Niners Draft Picks 2018

They have about 115 million in cap room because they've been carrying over the maximum amount every year.

They have their own first at #9 or 10 (coin flip still to come), the Saints 2nd, their 3rd and Chicago's 3rd, the Steelers' 4th, the Jets' 5th, their own 6th and 7th and the Chiefs' 7th. They won't get any comp picks.

I don't think the Hawks will be dumb enough to trade the best FS in the game right in the heart of his prime, let alone to a division rival that seems to be improving.

They have Jimmie Ward (who they really like but who is always injured) and Adrian Colbert (who has played really, really well, but is going into his second year and was a UDFA) at FS.

I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to get ET3, I just think the chance of the Hawks sending him to SF is effectively zero.

The 49ers have Tartt, who they love, Colbert, who played very well, Ward, who they like but will have to pay a lot to keep, and Eric Reid (assuming he resigns). As good as Thomas is, I think the 49ers consider both safety positions filled. Note: all 4 of them have played both safety positions.

Whether as a Seahawk cap casualty or a trade, he’s probably simply too expensive based on what they currently have.

...yeah, just to piggyback what Popeye said, I don't see Earl Thomas in SF.

They have players they like at both FS and SS and I can't see the 'Hawks trading him in division. If he were released, it surely would be a conversation and the Niners would have a ton of money, but I think they'd have other priorities (which is also why they wouldn't likely give up picks even if Seattle were willing to trade him in division).

I respect the hell out of the guy so don't take it as an affront to the player, but I just don't see him in SF anytime soon.

Jimmy Graham on the other hand might make a lot of sense in SF...tho they have some young guys there as well so they wouldn't break the bank on that one either.

In other words, lil' Jed York has been spending the LEAST he possibly can over the last several years, while cashing in on huge PSL money and government subsidies and screwing over just about everyone (including LYING to the neighboring kids soccer clubs and reneging on a promise to refurbish their soccer fields that were taken from them to create parking lots for the stadium).

Thanks Marvin. I was just considering all the complications of a move....and wanted input from some wise individuals as you all are. You 3 to 10 here that monitor this site are what makes us more intelligent in what your team thinks and what wavelength your team is on.

Yer funny.

1) They aren't spending money because sadly they have few drafted players to spend the money on. How much of the Seahawks Cap Space is used on players they drafted and extended? The 49ers don't get to keep those dollars. The CBA precludes that.

2) "Cashing in on huge PSL money". Totally false. The stadium was financed with a public/private partnership and the money was borrowed by the 49ers Stadium Authority. The Authority is an entity composed of the 49ers and the Board of the City of Santa Clara. Its is a third entity. The SBLs are/were sold to pay off the loan taken out by that stadium authority, IE the SBL money pays down the build loan, not line Jeds pockets. Thats not to say he isn't making money. He's making a ton of it on concessions, etc and hosting NON NFL games (College Championships, Concerts, etc).

3) The Soccer fields you are so concerned about are STILL THERE. Those fields have never been used for parking and the Soccer leagues still play on them. Thats them in the upper right corner BTW.

Jed has done enough to screw up the team by firing Harbaugh, not firing Baalke, and hiring Tomsula and Kelly. There is no need to make sh*t up as well.
